My treatments thus far

Since birth I’ve been doing physical therapy and receiving other treatments on my arm. I don’t like the exercises very much, in fact, the older I get the harder they are to do. Massage therapy is very painful because my arm is forced into positions I am unable to make. I ask my mummy “Why must I do my therapy while other kids don’t?”

The options for therapy in Serbia are meagre, they include massage therapy, therapeutic paraffin treatment, and electrotherapy. Swimming is another option, but those costs are not covered by insurance. There are also natural spas, such as the Koviljaca Spa in nearby Bosnia, where all of the above treatments are offered, in addition to others, like mud treatments, and water massage. My physician referred me to a spa but my insurance rejected the referral four times.
